The Troll Song (from PS/SS, Chap 10)

(to the tune of The Trolley Song, from the 1944 musical film Meet Me 
in St. Louis) 

THE SCENE: The Great Hall, with Halloween festivities underway. 

HARRY
Midst the decorations set for Halloween
With my food piled high upon my plate
Then through the door came Quirrell, looking none-too-virile,
"A troll broke through our gate!"

RON
Dumble told the prefects, who secured each House,
For a troll's the deadliest of beasts.
As we left the feast, we thought "Herm's unreleased,
We'll warn her of the beast at least."

(On their way to warn Hermione, they run into the troll)

BOTH
Bang bang bang went the troll, he
"More more gore" went his yell
Churn, churn, churn went our tummies
Once we got downwind from his smell

Slam, slam, slam went the doorway
Run, run, run went our feet
Scream scream scream then went Hermy
We knew we had to retrace our retreat

HARRY
We ran back in and saw a sink
Getting knocked into the wall `gainst which Herm did shrink
I told her "Run!" but wasted breath
She couldn't move because it scared her half to death

(HARRY jumps on the troll's back, as RON's Wingardium spell knocks it 
out with its own club)

Jump, jump, jump on the troll, he
Swung, swung, swung with his pole
Swish, swish, flick now went Ron's wand 
And then it started to fall, and it was 12 feet tall, a limp soul
Spinning out of con-troll

.

(Enter McGonagall, looking angry)

RON
Her look was dark, her voice was cold
The mood of McGonagall a loss of points foretold
We two stood dumb, like perfect saps
But then Hermione spoke up, and took the rap.

HARRY
Blah, blah blah went the teachers
Uh, Uh, Uh went our plea
Please, please, please then went Hermy

(Hermione joins in the song)

TRIO
As we started to leave
We could only perceive a new trend
We'll our conflicts suspend
For we three are now friends who'll defend till the end 
Let us blend as allies, that's how wizards form ties!
